What is a "smart" amplifier?

Advancements in Broadband Amplifiers

This white paper discusses several recent advancements in amplifier design. These innovations provide substantial improvements in terms of both flexibility and efficiency, creating a new class of "smart amplifiers." Unlike traditional amplifiers, these "smart" amplifiers allow user-defined, dynamic, and simultaneous variation of the core amplifier parameters (such as operating class and VSWR tolerance) during operation, thus enabling the optimization of performance for an extremely wide range of applications.
